SKU number question

[Rick W]

Hey guys,
I just heard back from Gibson about my lefty R4 Custom, wraptail. I can usually figure these out, but this one puzzles me. The number is: CST-MD057B4LHEBGH1
Any info is appreciated!

I think I have part of it figured out:
B4 = 54 Custom
LH = Left Handed
EB = Ebony
GH = Gold Hardware
1= First Quality

Your on the right track I feel..

1 as if Gibson knowingly passes out 2nds to dealers ???

The GH I know is right..LH would seemingly be LH

MD057 (could this be that it was modeled after a 57 custom and configured as a 54 but the body is the same as used as on a 57 BB? ) Sorry, not quite up on custom specs.

B4 could mean Black w 54 specs too I suppose..as top colors do vary on these smaller production runs.
